SYDNEY -- Air New Zealand, the official airline of Middle-earth, is at it again.

The creative airline is celebrating the launch of the third and final film in The Hobbit Trilogy with a new safety video.

In what they dub "The Most Epic Safety Video Ever Made," Air New Zealand makes the most boring, yet important, part of the flight a little more bearable.

The glorious clip features cameos from stars of the trilogy, Elijah Wood, Dean O’Gorman and Sylvester McCoy, as the viewer takes a safety journey through Middle-earth.

It isn't the first time Air New Zealand has created an interesting safety video using The Hobbit. In 2012 the airline released An Unexpected Briefing, to promote the first movie in the trilogy.

The recent video comes ahead of the December release of The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies.
